@Jazzy: Well the topics tends to be different every time, but the discussion seems to head the same direction every time, so in that sense he's right, but it's not the fault of the guy who starts the thread.
@vthokiesrmoo: No matter how you want to classify them, the market disagrees and the market is the one that decides whether to buy the system for the game or not.
I'm not sure what you try to point out with the sales, that it has no games or that despite it having the games, it still got a beating?
I do agree that the price difference doesn't matter if people really want the system, but as you pointed out yourself, the system isn't desirable enough to be chosen over the competition.
The future games is really a moot point, actually it's turned as a joke already. Besides, everything with "2" (or more) in it and a prequel already on the system, isn't going to sell systems. So basically you had GT5 (although Prologue is out) and God of War 3, that are potential system sellers.
Wii is going to end up similar novelty as DS. Novelty factor on both have already worn off.
So, which one is it; can or can't you predict the future from the past? You can't say that "you can find trends" and "you can't predict the future sales" at the same time. If you can't, doesn't mean that others can't. Besides, where did you base the games you mentioned being as system sellers? Were you just pulling them out of your ass or what?
In case you haven't yet noticed, tech isn't selling systems, so there goes your 3D. Besides, there are other applications too for the 3D evinronments, such as head tracking.
